Chit-Chat
Chit-Chat, from the phpWordPress forum. Archived general discussion from the phpWordPress forum, covering feature requests, traffic logs, browser quirks and vendor support.
Chit-Chat was the phpWordPress forum’s general board. The threads that survive are practical: what customers wanted from the next release, how to analyse traffic on a dynamic site, a feature that only worked in one browser, and a customer chasing paid work. Each thread shows the archived posts with usernames removed, followed by a modern answer to the question it raised.
